For determination of the utility of compounds having formula (I) as inhibitors of the activity of anti-apoptotic Bcl-X_(L), representative examples in DMSO at concentrations between 100 μM and 1 pm and added to each well of a 96-well microtiter plate. A mixture totaling 125 μL per well of assay buffer (20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% PF-68), 30 nM Bcl-X_(L) protein (prepared as described in Science 1997, 275, 983-986), 15 nM fluorescein-labeled BAD peptide (prepared in-house), and the DMSO solution of the example was shaken for 2 minutes then placed in a LJL Analyst (LJL Bio Systems, CA). A negative control (DMSO, 15 nM BAD peptide, assay buffer) and a positive control (DMSO, 15 nM BAD peptide, 30 nM Bcl-X_(L), assay buffer) were used to determine the range of the assay. Polarization was measured at 25° C. with a continuous Fluorescein lamp (excitation 485 nm; emission 530 nm). Percentage of inhibition was determined by (1−((mP value of well-negative control)/range))×100%.

Determination of the utility of compounds having formula (I) as inhibitiors of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 was also performed in 96-well microtiter plates. Representative examples were diluted in DMSO to concentrations between 10 μM and 10 pm and added to each well of the plate. A mixture totaling 125 μL per well of assay buffer (20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% PF-68), 10 nM Bcl-2 protein (prepared as described in PNAS 2001, 98, 3012-3017), 1 nM fluorescein-labeled BAX peptide (prepared in-house), and the DMSO solution of the example was shaken for 2 minutes and placed in the LJL Analyst. Polarization was measured at 25° C. using a continuous Fluorescein lamp (excitation 485 nm; emission 530 nm).

These binding and inhibitory data demonstrate the utility of compounds having formula (I) as inhibitors of anti-apopotic BCl-X_(L) protein and anti-apopotic Bcl-2.

It is expected that, because compounds having formula (I) bind to and inhibit the activity of BCl-X_(L) and Bcl-2, they would also have utility as inhibitors of anti-apopotic protein family members having close structural homology to BCl-X_(L) and Bcl-2, such as, for example, anti-apopotic Bcl-w protein.

Accordingly, compounds having formula (I) are expected to have utility in treatment of diseases during which anti-apopotic Bcl-X_(L) protein, anti-apopotic Bcl-2 protein, anti-apopotic Bcl-w protein or a combination thereof, are expressed.

Diseases during which anti-apopotic protein family members such as BCl-X_(L) protein, Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-w protein are expressed include cancer and autoimmune disorders, wherein cancer includes, but is not limited to, bladder cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, hepatocellular cancer, lymphoblastic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, lymphoid malignancies of T-cell or B-cell origin, melanoma, myelogenous leukemia, myeloma, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer and small cell lung cancer (Cancer Res., 2000, 60, 6101-10); autoimmune disorders include, but are not limited to, acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, hemolytic anemia, inflammatory diseases, and thrombocytopenia (Current Allergy and Asthma Reports 2003, 3: 378-384; Br. J. Haematol. 2000 September; 110(3): 584-90; Blood 2000 Feb. 15; 95(4): 1283-92; and New England Journal of Medicine 2004 September; 351(14): 1409-1418).

A representative compound having formula (I), EXAMPLE 2, displayed therapeutic utility against human tumor cell lines derived from small cell lung carcinomas and lymphoid malignancies of both T-cell and B-cell origin.

EXAMPLE 2 also displayed therapeutic utility against acute lymphoblastoid leukemia, small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and follicular lymphoma tumors (RS11380, DoHH2 and SuDHL-4) in xenograft models.

EXAMPLE 2 also demonstrated anti-tumor activity in two murine models. (H146 and SCLC xenograft) from human-derived small cell lung cancer isolated from smokers and nonsmokers, defective for Rb/p53 gene function, and expresseive of moderately high levels of Bcl-2. In the H146 model, treatment with EXAMPLE 2 resulted in complete regression of an established tumor with, in some cases, tumor disappearance after prolonged therapy.

EXAMPLE 2 also prolonged survival in a systemic model of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and inhibited tumor growth in a model of follicular lymphoma (DOHH-2). Therapeutic utility was also observed in a prostate cancer model.

Without being limited by theory, the genetic link between Bcl-2 and cancer comes from the observation that t(14;18) chromosomal translocations in B-cell lymphomas lead to overexpression of the protein. Aberrant Bcl-2 and Bcl-X_(L) expression is also seen in other lymphoid malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia. EXAMPLE 2 exhibited significant activity in a CCRF-CEM T-cell acute lymphoblastoid leukemia model as well as in SuDHL4 and RS11380, two models of B-cell follicular lymphoma.

CCRF-CEM is a p53-mutant acute lympoblastoid leukemia line of T-cell origin used as an animal (mouse) model of systemic leukemia involving intravenous inoculation of tumor cells. If left untreated, the mice succumb to disease within about 34 days post inoculation, at which time extensive tumor infiltration of spleen, liver, and bone marrow has occured. Administeration of EXAMPLE 2 increased the average survival of the mice and showed a significant decrease in average spleen weight relative to vehicle controls (indicative of a lower tumor burden in this organ).

The therapeutic effect of paclitaxel on A549 human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells was about 4.4-fold more efficacious when administered with EXAMPLE 2. A similar increase (4.7-fold) in efficacy was demonstrated against PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells. The enantiomer of EXAMPLE 2 was less efficacious, indicating that the therapeutic effect of EXAMPLE 2 was the direct result of binding to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. The anti-tumor activity of EXAMPLE 2 was equivalent to slightly better than paclitaxel near the maximum tolerated dose in a small cell lung cancer xenograft tumor model and superior to cisplatin and etoposide. In a PC3 derived murine model of prostate cancer, EXAMPLE 2 exhibited about 40-50% inhibition of tumor growth rate.

Studies pertaining to the efficacy of EXAMPLE 2 in combination with etoposide, vincristine, modified CHOP, doxorubicin, rapamycin and Rituxin® demonstrated that EXAMPLE 2 synergistically enhanced efficacy of these cytotoxic agents during combination therapy. In particular, combinations ocomprising EXAMPLE 2 and rapamycin and EXAMPLE 2 and Rituxin® resulted in complete regression of a significant percentage of established DoHH2 follicular lymphoma flank tumors for a sustained period of time.

These data demonstrate the utility of compounds having formula (I) for treatment of diseases which are caused or exascerbated by expression of one or more than one of an anti-apoptotic protein family member. Furthermore, experiments with representative Bcl-X_(L)-selective compounds demonstrated synergistic therapeutic effects with multiple chemotherapeutic agents against cell lines representative of diverse tumor types. Accordingly, the compounds having formula (I) are expected to be useful as chemotherapeutic agents alone or in combination with additional therapeutic agents.
